Patent EP-1261085-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SCHMIDT BERTHOLD
IPC: H01S5/042
Filed: 2002-05-08
Abstract: Semiconductor laser diodes, particularly high power AIGaAs-based ridge-waveguide
laser diodes, are often used in opto-electronics as so-called pump
laser diodes for fiber amplifiers in optical communication lines. To provide the
desired high power output and stability of such a laser diode and avoid degradation
during use, the present invention concerns an improved design of such
a device, the improvement in particular significantly minimizing or avoiding
(front) end section degradation of such a laser diode and significantly increasing
long-term stability compared to prior art designs. This is achieved by
establishing one or two "unpumped end sections" of the laser diode. One
preferred way of providing such an unpumped end section at one of the laser
facets (10, 12) is to insert an isolation layer (11, 13) of predetermined position,
size, and shape between the laser diode's semiconductor material and
the usually existing metallization (6).

Abstract: In order to provide a collision detecting device which can enable the accurate and
early determination of a collision with a vehicle or the like and to provide a passive
safety system using this collision detecting device, a low-rigid portion (52) and a
crash box (53) are arranged ahead of a high-rigid portion (50) in a front portion of a
frame (30). The front end of a rod (44) is fixed to a bumper (54). The rod (44) is
